Another Date That Dress competition

As a child I lived in both Greenhill and Dronfield so I know the area reasonably well.   You only mention searching the Norton registers for these events, which I find a little strange when there are other churches in the area which are about the same distance from both places as Norton.   Dronfield is about equidistant from both Norton and Greenhill and both Holmesfield and Beauchief are about the same distance from Greenhill.   Dronfield is about 6 miles from Chesterfield, as is Staveley.   If you have not already done so I think I would be inclined to spread my wings a little further.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice - I had focussed on the Norton registers because that was where IGI had put the birth of the 4 Harrison children. I think extending the search is what I will have to do next. Is there anyone out there who has access to the North East Derbyshire parish records as it will be some time before I can get to Matlock.

Hi,

I think your best bet would be to post a request for the information you want on the Derbyshire board.   Make sure you give all the details you already have.

Good luck.

Foolish question, but is there no indication of the artist?

Stumbled across this because  have a Margret Wade in my family tree, but if she was a lady, it was by character and not title (& though she might have passed through Derbyshire, never heard of her having rested there.
